Use of balanced fertilization for achieving higher productivity of pearl millet and soil health under pearl millet based cropping systems

In India, Pearl millet grown in 7.41 million ha area with an average production of 10.3 tonnes. Analysis 1030 soil samples from major pearl growing areas representing 10 districts indicated widespread multi-nutrient deficiency involving 2 to 6 nutrients including NK, NKS, NKB, NPKS, NKSZn and NPKSZnB. Incidence expansion such deficiencies Indian soils owing inadequate unbalanced nutrient input through fertilizers is considered one the constraints enhancing productivity millet. this context, different supply options were evaluated milet-based cropping systems. all these experiments, SSNM proved superior state recommendation farmers’ fertilizer practice terms annual yields, recovery, fertility restoration net economic returns. Site-specific management (SSNM) seems be effective ways improve supplying capacity enhance India.&nbsp
